So now Mexico is responsible for starting WW I. Wow. How can you remember all that when you guys can't even remember the Alamo. That's right - the Alamo. I'm talking abotu where Santa Ana and his army killed John Wayne! I'm still pissed about that! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

So your Grandad was governor of Quintana Roo? He isn't by any chance the one they have been trying to arrest for the past 10 years is he? Seems like Quintana Roo has gotten into a much more lucrative business than banana trading in the past few years <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You know Pio, you have just said something very interesting. lol
If Maximiliano hadn't accepted Mexico 'Crown' and instead had stayed next to his brother the emperor of the Austro-Hungarians history may had been different. lol

But bering perfectly honest here, I am more upset at them for killing Davy Crockett. That misdeed is unforgiveable. BTW, I met the "Duke". He filmed most of "The Green Berets" in Georgia and at Ft. Benning. I had the great opportunity of working on that movie, in wardrobe. I also met most of the other stars. John Wayne was bigger than life, in more ways than one.

My Grandadd was one of many local leaders spread around the country. The ones that 'won' the revolution. By 1920 Venustiano Carranza started to kill the same men that had took him to the power and the end of the conflict. To asure the end of the conflict, most local liders, were murdered as Zapata. My GranDad, decided to 'cross' the border instead of been murdered.
The murders of Revolution liders lasted well into 1930's. That's in part how el PRI started it's power.

The Revolution started against the 30 years dictatorship of General Porfirio Diaz. Diaz got to the power thanks to his good fame because he had fought against the French in Oaxaca.When He the Armed uprising against him started in 1910, he left the country and was recived with open arms by the same French militar man he had defeated. He lived some more years in Paris and his body is in Pere Lachaise the same cementary where is Jimy Morrison. Lol.

I know nothing about el Alamo. Funny. Gemela and I stayed at the Marriott Riverwalk one time and I told her we should go visit the Alamo. She said "¿con que se come?" She had never heard of the Alamo either. Guess they don't teach that in Mexican history classes. You guys killed one of the greatest movie stars of all time. Got Richard Widmark too!

The stuff that comes in the jars I call mole paste. The stuff that comes in the foil wrapped bricks - I don't really know. Achiote and Maggi come in that same form but I don't know what the word would be. I would cop out and simply say "seasoning". The closest thing we have to that would be boullion cubes.

Pio - Is there anyone else you want me to piss off so they leave?
